Abstract:

Infrapopliteal arterial disease is a challenging problem to treat. A shift toward an endovascular treatment approach over surgical bypass has occurred over recent years. Although current standard percutaneous transluminal balloon and bare metal stents are employed, their durability and outcomes are questionable. A number of endovascular advancements in the treatment of infrapopliteal (IP) arterial disease have recently been made. We review the recent literature for new atherectomy, stent, and balloon technologies.
